Hey guys, if you are following me in my instagram @mytravellicious or my Facebook page, you might noticed that I was travelled to Ba'Kelalan in north Sarawak. I was invited by Tourism Malaysia Sarawak to join their Famtrip joined by other social media content creators such as Hazemin Huzir (Youtuber), Khairul Jamain (Youtuber), Shirly&Nomi (Youtuber), Kaki Travel (FB/Website), Billiq Tidoq (FB), I Love Borneo (FB/Website), Locco.my (Social Media/Community), and TravelWithSeth (Blogger/Photographer/Videographer).
It is such an adventurous journey and I am really excited as I never visit the place in the itineraries. Before I make a specific blogpost for each of the place, let me summarize our journey from day 1 till day 8 ya! So it will easy when you want to make some travel reference. Hope this will helps. As for the cost, I might have a little bit idea as this trip is sponsored and I did not spent any money during this trip. If you have any inquiry, do reach me, I will try my best to answer ya!
